Abstract: A method, a network device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to a secure operations, administration, and management (OAM) for remote networks service. The service may categorize performance metric (PM), fault metric (FM) data, and other types of data associated with a virtualized network device of a private network and provide such data to an OAM system of an operator network via a blockchain network or not based on the categorization. The OAM system may also manage orchestration and maintenance of the private network including the virtualized network device based on configuration data transmitted via the blockchain network or not. The virtualized network device may be a radio access network device, a core network device, or an edge server device. The secure OAM for remote networks service may also store service assurance policies as a smart contract in the blockchain network.

Abstract: A network function virtualization (NFV) orchestration service includes a centralized orchestration device and a multi-cluster container management (MCCM) platform. The centralized orchestration device stores a catalog of virtual network function descriptors (VNFDs) in an input language; generates, based on the catalog of VNFDs, intents for containerized network function (CNF) services; and stores the generated intents as blocks in a central intent database, wherein the blocks include an input data model for the CNF services. The MCCM platform includes one or more processors to receive and store a copy of the intent database; read design time policies from the copy of the intent database; and convert the input data model into a vendor-specific output data model in an output language.

Abstract: A device may receive CNF data identifying a CNF to be deployed in a network. The device may perform multiple levels of validation associated with deploying the CNF. The device may determine, based on performing the multiple levels of validation, whether one or more issues are associated with deploying the CNF in the network. The one or more issues may include one or more of: a connectivity issue, a package issue, a network functions virtualization orchestrator (NFVO) issue, or a network functions virtualization infrastructure (NFVI) issue. The device may perform one or more actions based on determining whether the one or more issues are associated with the deploying the CNF in the network.

Abstract: Network devices may be configured to execute computer-executable instructions to instantiate a deployable unit based on the instructions. The instructions may include a virtual network function (VNF) template that includes: a virtualized deployment unit (VDU) template that describes the deployable unit that includes containers; and a connection point template bound to the VDU template. The deployable unit may provide services of a network function in an access network or a core network. The deployable unit may include an interface defined by the connection point template.

Abstract: A device may receive application information of an application to be deployed in a cloud computing environment. The application information may include requirement information including information defining a compute requirement of the application, a storage requirement of the application, and a network connectivity requirement of the application, and first capability information identifying requested capabilities of the first set of devices. The device may receive second capability information identifying actual capabilities of the second set of devices. The device may compare the first capability information and the second capability information to determine a measure of similarity between the first capability information and the second capability information. The device may generate deployment information for deploying the application on a device, of the second set of devices, based on the measure of similarity.
